- Brief description
-
At the western door of the Alps lies a small but interesting vineyard. At the center stands the city of Aigle dominated by its castle. The reputation of the village of Yvorne goes way beyond Switzerland. The dominant local grape is the white Chasselas. The Chablais region is very picturesque and offers a lovely trail and many places to stop and taste the local wines.
